Section 1: Core Setup & InfrastructureModules 01–03
Module 01
The Credibility Framework
Before a prospect reads your proposal, your email domain has already signaled your status. Get your custom domain live and linked to Google Workspace — this is the single change that repositions you in the market immediately.
Domain Mapping & MX Records Walkthrough
🎥 3:45
💡 Pro Tip: Screenshot your current DNS settings before you change anything. Most MX records propagate in 30 minutes but can take up to 72 hours. Don't panic if email doesn't work immediately.
Module 02
The "We" Architecture — Look Like a Team
You don't need multiple paid seats to look corporate. Use Google Groups to create billing@, solutions@, and operations@ aliases — all routing to your one inbox. Clients will never haggle with a "billing department."
Creating Google Groups & Inbox Aliases
🎥 2:15
💡 Critical: After creating groups, go to Gmail Settings → Accounts → "Send mail as" and register each alias. Without this step, you can receive mail to billing@ but you can't reply from it. This is the step everyone misses.
Module 03
Business Process Strategy — Workflow First
Software doesn't create structure — it scales it. Map your 5-phase operating cycle on paper first: Attract → Capture → Deliver → Retain → Grow. Then build Google tools around each phase.
Building Your SOP System in Google Drive
🎥 4:00
SOP Template — Copy to Google Docs

Section 2: AI & Document IntelligenceModules 04–06
Module 04

Competitive Analysis Reporter
Use Gemini Deep Research to run a competitive analysis.
My Business: [Name, type, location]
Target Market: [e.g., small business owners in Houston]
Top 3 Competitors: [List names or websites]
Analyze and provide:
1. SERVICE GAPS: What they're NOT offering
2. PRICING: Price ranges and patterns
3. CONTENT: Topics, formats, platforms they dominate
4. COMPLAINTS: What 1-star reviews say
5. MY OPPORTUNITY: Where I can differentiate credibly
Format as a structured brief I can share with my team.
Module 05
NotebookLM — Document Intelligence Hub
Upload your contracts, SOPs, client emails, and business documents. Ask questions and get instant, source-grounded answers from your own files — not the internet. Your most powerful pre-meeting tool.
Generating Audio Overviews & Precise Q&A
🎥 1:50
💡 Best Use: Before every client meeting, upload their proposal and previous emails. Ask "What are the 3 most important things this client cares about?" — get a 60-second briefing from their actual files, not from memory.
Module 06
Workspace Studio — Automation Agents
Replace Zapier ($49/month) with native Workspace automation agents. Build in plain English — no code. Daily briefings, pre-meeting summaries, invoice auto-filing, and client onboarding — all automated.
Building a Daily Inbox Digest Agent
🎥 5:10
Apps Script: Auto-Onboarding Email on Form Submit
// Paste into Script Editor linked to your Google Form
function onFormSubmit(e) {
var r = e.namedValues;
var name = r['Full Name'][0];
var email = r['Email Address'][0];
var svc = r['Service Requested'][0];
var subj = 'Welcome to [YOUR BUSINESS], ' + name + '!';
var body = 'Hi ' + name + ',\n\nThank you for reaching out about ' + svc + '.\n\n'
+ 'What happens next:\n'
+ '1. Discovery call link sent within 2 hours\n'
+ '2. Custom proposal within 48 hours\n'
+ '3. Project kickoff within 5 business days\n\n'
+ 'Best,\n[YOUR NAME]\n[YOUR BUSINESS]';
GmailApp.sendEmail(email, subj, body, {
from: 'operations@yourdomain.com',
name: '[YOUR BUSINESS] Operations'
});
}
Section 3: Communications & SecurityModules 07–10
Mods 07–10
The Complete Communications Ecosystem
Four tools, one ecosystem. Google Meet (AI notes), Google Voice (business phone), Google Chat (replace Slack), Google Authenticator (2FA security). All included, all integrated.
| Tool | Replaces | Focus | Link |
|---|---|---|---|
| Mod 07: Google Meet | Zoom + Otter.ai ($30/mo) | Auto-note synthesis, action items | Open Meet |
| Mod 08: Google Voice | RingCentral ($30/mo) | Free virtual business phone number | Configure Voice |
| Mod 09: Google Chat | Slack ($8+/user/mo) | Integrated team spaces + Gemini AI | Open Chat |
| Mod 10: Authenticator | SMS codes (vulnerable) | App-based 2FA — prevents SIM swaps | Security Portal |
⚠️ Set up 2FA first. One phishing attack can undo everything you build. App-based 2FA takes 20 minutes and protects your entire business ecosystem. Do this before any other module.
Section 4: Data Systems & ContentModules 11–16
Mods 11 & 13
Google Forms + Sheets CRM & Gmail Mail Merge
Zero-cost client tracking. Intake form → CRM Sheet → automated email sequence. Replaces Typeform + Airtable ($80/month). Gemini can analyze your revenue data and tell you which service makes you the most money.
Forms → Sheets → Mail Merge Full Walkthrough
🎥 6:15
CRM Sheet — Column Structure
Headers:
Timestamp | Full Name | Email | Phone | Service | Budget | Source | Status | Follow-Up Date | Proposal Sent | Signed | Value | Payment | Notes
Status Dropdown Options:
New Lead → Contacted → Discovery Scheduled → Proposal Sent → Negotiating → Closed Won → Closed Lost → Archived
Key Formulas:
=COUNTIF(H:H,"New Lead") — count new leads

=AVERAGEIF(H:H,"Closed Won",L:L) — avg deal value
Module 12
Google Maps + Business Profile + Local Ads
Local Search is the most important free marketing channel most business owners ignore. Claim and optimize your listing, set up review automation, and run the free-to-paid local ad progression.
Module 14
Google Vids vs. Google Flow — Clearly Distinguished
Two completely different tools that confuse everyone. Get this clear before you waste hours on the wrong one.
📌 The Distinction: Google Vids = business walkthroughs, onboarding, screen-shares with AI avatars. Already in your Workspace. Google Flow = AI cinematic video with Veo for brand-level content. Separate product. Module 14 covers both.
Mods 15 & 16
The AI Content Sprint + YouTube Strategy
One topic → 7 fully produced content assets in under 60 minutes. Every week. The YouTube script you already produce becomes permanent Google Search traffic that compounds for years.
